glory holes
Glassblower's heated openings
Glory hole has several distinct meanings.
In glassblowing, it's the furnace opening where molten glass is reheated during shaping.
In mining and geology, it's a vertical shaft or open pit.
In vulgar slang, a glory hole is a hole cut in a partition—typically in a public restroom or sex venue—through which anonymous sexual acts are performed: The bathhouse had a row of glory holes.
